Strange black bar across random threads...

11 replies

I'm getting a black bar across the screen.

It's on random threads, some but not all, and it's intermittent. If I scroll the bar moves with me.

It's blocking off large amounts of text and can vary in size. Pretty irritating. If I come back out of the thread and go back in sometimes it's gone and sometimes not.

Occasionally I even have two bars, and sometimes if I keep scrolling down I start the thread again, still with the black bar, so I'll see:

I'm using Chrome on Mobile View, Android.

Any thoughts? Hopefully screenshot attached.

I'm getting this, and it's really irritating and random. I'm using chrome in mobile view on a Samsung s7 phone

Me too!

I get this from time to time, too. Also chrome/mobile view/Android.

I've been getting this almost all the time for weeks now. Stopped coming on as much. It's not happened as much the last couple of days, but it's very annoying and spoils use of the site.

I'm also using a Samsung mobile

I get this. I assumed it was where an ad was meant to be but hadn't fully loaded.

MeanTangerine · 21/07/2018 14:34

(chrome on Huawei)

Still getting this issue and it appears I'm not the only one @mnhq
Any chance you could have a look into it please.

Hi all - really sorry about this, we'll raise with our tech team right away.
Can we ask, are you using adblock at all?

MangoesAndMatchsticks · 25/07/2018 08:54

Oops, sorry @LornaMumsnet

I'm not using adblocker.
